Abstract

A process produces web sections from a flexible web material. The flexible web material is provided with tear-off lines at the distance of the length (L) of the web sections to be formed, which tear-off lines weaken the web material but do not bring about a complete separation of the web sections from the web material. The web sections are separated from the web material along the tear-off lines by tearing. The web material comprises a fabric made of small stretched plastic bands, and the tear-off lines are produced by laser beam processing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial, wobei das Bahnmaterial im Abstand der Länge der zu formenden Bahnabschnitte mit Abrisslinien versehen wird, die das Bahnmaterial schwächen, aber keine vollständige Trennung der Bahnabschnitte vom Bahnmaterial herbeiführen und die Bahnabschnitte entlang der Abrisslinien durch Abreißen vom Bahnmaterial getrennt werden.The invention relates to a method for producing web sections from a flexible web material, wherein the web material is provided at the distance of the length of the web sections to be formed with tear lines that weaken the web material, but do not cause complete separation of the web sections from the web material and the web sections along the tear lines be separated by tearing off the web material.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiters ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Verpackungsbehältern unter Verwendung von erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Bahnabschnitten, wobei ein wichtiger Aspekt der Erfindung die Herstellung von Seitenfaltenbehältern, insbesondere Seitenfaltensäcken, betrifft.The invention further relates to a method for producing packaging containers using web sections produced according to the invention, an important aspect of the invention being related to the production of side-folding containers, in particular gusseted bags.

Die Herstellung von Seitenfaltenverpackungen aus Papier ist seit vielen Jahrzehnten bekannt. In der Praxis werden solche Verpackungen nach folgendem Verfahren hergestellt:

  • Eine flache Papierbahn wird mit geraden oder gestuften Perforationslinien im Abstand der späteren Abschnittslänge versehen.
  • Die flache Bahn wird zu einem Schlauch geformt und längs verklebt.
  • Anschließend werden die Schlauchabschnitte durch Abreißen entlang der Perforationslinien getrennt.
  • Ein Endbereich des abgerissenen Schlauchabschnitts wird zu einem Boden geformt und verklebt.
The production of gusseted paper packaging has been known for many decades. In practice, such packages are made according to the following procedure:
  • A flat paper web is provided with straight or stepped perforation lines at a distance of the later section length.
  • The flat web is formed into a tube and glued longitudinally.
  • Subsequently, the tube sections are separated by tearing along the perforation lines.
  • An end portion of the torn-off tube portion is formed into a bottom and adhered.

Die Konstruktion einer "pinch bottom-Verpackung" ist z.B. aus der US 4008850 bekannt, wobei in diesem Dokument auch vorgeschlagen wird, kunststoffbeschichtetes Papier für das Bahnmaterial zu verwenden und Kunststoffbeschichtungsflächen zu verkleben.The construction of a "pinch bottom package" is eg from the US 4008850 It is also known in this document to use plastic-coated paper for the web material and to bond plastic coating surfaces.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von mehrlagigen Papiersäcken, die Schlauchabschnitte mit gestaffelter Anordnung der einzelnen Papierlagen umfassen, ist aus dem Dokument EP 664208 bekannt. Um unterschiedliche Formate der Papiersäcke herstellen zu können, weisen die dafür verwendeten "Schlauchmaschinen" eine Veränderbarkeit der die Schlauchabschnittlängen bestimmenden Abstände der Querperforationen in den einzelnen Papierlagen auf. Auch die Abstände der quer verlaufenden Querklebestreifen sind entsprechend anpassbar. Die bekannte Vorrichtung zum Herstellen eines mehrlagigen Schlauches aus in gleichen Abständen mit Querperforationen versehenen Papierbahnen, von dem zur Sackherstellung Schlauchabschnitte abgerissen werden, umfasst in einem Maschinengestell gelagerte, an einer rotierenden Welle befestigte Perforiermesser, die die Papierbahnen mit Querperforationen versehen, wobei der radiale Abstand der Perforiermesser zu der Welle zur Formateinstellung veränderbar ist. Weiters sind im Maschinengestell mit Querklebeleisten versehene und mit Klebsttiffauftragseinrichtungen zusammenwirkende Querklebezylinder gelagert. Mit einer Längskleberolle werden die einander überlappenden Ränder der Papierbahnen, bevor sie durch Leitrollen zu Schläuchen umgeschlagen werden, mit einem Klebstoffauftrag versehen. An der rotierenden Welle sind in gleichen Winkelabständen vier Träger für wahlweise an diesen befestigbare Perforiermesser angeordnet, die Einrichtungen zur Verstellung ihres radialen Abstandes von der Welle besitzen.An apparatus for producing multi-layered paper sacks comprising staggered tube sections of individual paper layers is disclosed in the document EP 664208 known. In order to be able to produce different formats of the paper sacks, the "tube machines" used for this purpose have a changeability of the distances of the transverse perforations in the individual paper layers which determine the tube section lengths. The distances between the transverse cross-adhesive strips are also adaptable. The known device for producing a multi-layered hose of paper webs provided at equal intervals with transverse perforations, from which tube sections are torn off for bag production, comprises in one Machine frame mounted, attached to a rotating shaft perforator, which provide the paper webs with transverse perforations, wherein the radial distance of the perforator is changeable to the shaft for format adjustment. Furthermore, in the machine frame provided with cross-adhesive strips and cooperating with Klebsttiffauftragseinrichtungen cross-lock cylinder are stored. With a longitudinal adhesive roll, the overlapping edges of the paper webs are provided with an adhesive before they are turned into tubes by guide rollers. On the rotating shaft four supports are arranged at equal angular intervals for selectively attachable to this perforating, having means for adjusting their radial distance from the shaft.

Die Anbringung der Perforationslinien an Papiersäcken ist wenig problematisch, da Papier leicht zu schneiden ist. Im Gegensatz dazu stellt jedoch bei der Herstellung von Seitenfaltenverpackungen aus Kunststoffgeweben oder ihren Verbunden die Anbringung der Perforation eine große Herausforderung dar, da bei Kunststoffgeweben mit ihren übereinander liegenden Bändchen das Schneiden problematisch ist. Es sind bisher z.B. teure Stanzwerkzeuge erforderlich, die wenig flexibel sind und verschleißen. Von dieser Problematik sind Gewebe aus verstreckten Kunststoffbändchen auch dann betroffen, wenn sie mit zumindest einer zusätzlichen Materialschicht verbunden sind, wobei es sich um eine Beschichtung der Kunststoffbändchen oder des Gewebes oder um Verbunde des Gewebes mit anderen Materialien handelt. Gewebe und ihre Verbunde werden häufig als schlauchförmige Bahnen hergestellt. Es wäre auch wünschenswert ein Verfahren zu finden, mit dem eine versetzte Perforation direkt an diesen schlauchförmigen Bahnen angebracht werden kann. Ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial, wobei Abrisslinien mittels Laserstrahlbearbeitung erzeugt werden ist aus dem Dokument GB-A-2246092 bekannt.Attaching the perforation lines to paper bags is not very problematic because paper is easy to cut. In contrast, in the production of gussets made of plastic fabrics or their composites, the attachment of the perforation poses a great challenge, since in plastic fabrics with their superimposed ribbons cutting is problematic. So far, for example, expensive punching tools are required, which are less flexible and wear. Tissue of stretched plastic tapes are also affected by this problem if they are connected to at least one additional layer of material, which is a coating of the plastic tapes or the fabric or composites of the fabric with other materials. Fabrics and their composites are often made as tubular webs. It would also be desirable to find a method by which an offset perforation can be applied directly to these tubular webs. A method for producing web portions from a flexible web material wherein tear lines are produced by laser beam machining is known from the document GB-A-2246092 known.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die genannten Probleme des Standes der Technik durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial, das ein Gewebe aus verstreckten Kunststoffbändchen ist, mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Mit einem Laserstrahl ist man in der Lage ein Gewebe aus Kunststoffbändchen zu schneiden, zu perforieren oder mit einer definierten Eindringtiefe zu ritzen, obwohl aufgrund der zumindest teilweisen Übereinander-Anordnung der Bändchen in dem Gewebe die Dicke des Bahnmaterials variiert. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass Laser sehr wartungsarm und nahezu verschleißfrei sind. Vorzugsweise ist das Gewebe aus ein- oder mehrschichtigen Kunststoffbändchen aus PP, PE, oder PET hergestellt, wobei die Kunststoffbändchen vor dem Weben zumeist verstreckt werden, um ihre Festigkeit zu vervielfachen.The present invention solves the aforementioned problems of the prior art by a method for producing web portions of a flexible web material, which is a fabric of stretched plastic tape, having the features of claim 1. With a laser beam is in the position in a fabric of plastic tape to cut, perforate or score with a defined penetration depth, although due to the at least partial superposition of the ribbons in the fabric, the thickness of the sheet material varies. Another advantage is that lasers are very low maintenance and almost wear-free. Preferably, the fabric is made of single or multi-layer plastic tapes of PP, PE, or PET, wherein the plastic tapes are stretched before weaving mostly to multiply their strength.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist es - im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik - möglich, die Abrisslinien als Perforationslinien oder Schwächungslinien oder eine Kombination aus Perforations- und Schwächungslinien auszubilden, wodurch eine hervorragende Anpassung der Abreißbarkeit an die zu verarbeitenden Bahnmaterialien geschaffen wird.The inventive method it is - in contrast to the prior art - possible to form the tear lines as perforation lines or lines of weakness or a combination of perforation and weakening lines, whereby an excellent adaptation of the tearable to be processed web materials is created.

Das Dokument DE 4122273 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren für Laserschneiden für kontinuierlich bewegte Streifen eines Bahn- oder Flachmaterials. Dabei werden mittels Laser durchgehende oder perforierte Transversal(teil)schnitte im Bahn- oder Flachmaterial erzeugt. Das Anbringen von Schwächungslinien ist nicht offenbart. Es ist auch nicht offenbart, dass die Bahnabschnitte durch Abreißen vom Bahnmaterial getrennt werden. Weiters enthält das Dokument keine Materialangabe bezüglich des Bahn- oder Flachmaterials. Aus der Zeichnung geht nur hervor, dass das Bahnmaterial einlagig ist.The document DE 4122273 A1 discloses a method for laser cutting for continuously moving strips of web or sheet. In this case, laser continuous or perforated transversal (partial) sections are produced in the web or flat material. The attachment of lines of weakness is not disclosed. It is also not disclosed that the web sections are separated by tearing from the web material. Furthermore, the document does not contain any material information regarding the web or flat material. From the drawing only shows that the web material is single-layered.

Die Erfindung ist hervorragend für Bahnmaterialien anwendbar, die ein Gewebe aus Kunststoffbändchen umfassen, das mit zumindest einer zusätzlichen Materialschicht verbunden ist, denn die Schneidleistung des Lasers lässt sich sehr gut an die unterschiedlichsten Materialkombinationen anpassen.The invention is eminently applicable to web materials comprising a web of plastic tape bonded to at least one additional layer of material, since the cutting performance of the laser can be very well adapted to a wide variety of material combinations.

In einer Ausführungsform eines Gewebes aus Kunststoffbändchen, das mit zumindest einer zusätzlichen Materialschicht versehen ist, ist die zusätzliche Materialschicht eine Kunststoffschicht, wie z.B. eine OPP-Folie, die mit dem Gewebe verbunden ist. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die zusätzliche Materialschicht eine Beschichtung aus Kunststoffmaterial, die auf die Kunststoffbändchen des Gewebes aufgebracht ist. In wiederum einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das Bahnmaterial ein Verbundmaterial aus einem, optional beschichteten, Gewebe aus Kunststoffbändchen und zumindest einer weiteren Verbundkomponente, ausgewählt aus Kunststofffolie, Metallfolie, metallisierter Kunststofffolie, Vliesstoff (nonwoven), speziellen Haftschichten und/oder Papier. Bevorzugte Materialien umfassen ein- oder mehrschichtige Kunststoffbändchen aus PP, PE, oder PET, wobei die aus diesen Kunststoffbändchen hergestellten Geweben mit ein- oder mehrschichtiger Beschichtung aus PP, PE, oder speziellen Haftschichten versehen sein können. Die außen liegenden Einzelschichten eines solchen Verbundes können auch mit einem außen liegenden Druck oder Konterdruck versehen sein.In one embodiment of a fabric of plastic tape provided with at least one additional layer of material, the additional layer of material is a plastic layer, such as e.g. an OPP film that is bonded to the fabric. In a further embodiment, the additional material layer is a coating of plastic material applied to the plastic tapes of the fabric. In yet another embodiment, the web material is a composite material of an optionally coated web of plastic tape and at least one other composite component selected from plastic film, metal foil, metallized plastic film, nonwoven, special adhesive layers, and / or paper. Preferred materials include single or multi-layer plastic tapes made of PP, PE, or PET, wherein the fabrics produced from these plastic tapes can be provided with single or multi-layer coating of PP, PE, or special adhesive layers. The outer layers of such a composite can also be provided with an external pressure or counter pressure.

Ein besonderer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass sie auch für schlauchförmiges Bahnmaterial anwendbar ist. Um die Möglichkeit zu haben die beiden aufeinander liegenden Lagen des Schlauches an verschiedenen Stellen zu perforieren und so eine gestaffelte Perforation direkt an einem Schlauch anzubringen, ist vorgesehen, das Bahnmaterial von beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Außenflächen einer Laserstrahlbearbeitung zu unterziehen.A particular advantage of the invention is that it is also applicable to tubular sheet material. In order to have the opportunity to perforate the two superimposed layers of the hose at different locations and so a staggered To attach perforation directly to a hose, it is provided to subject the web material of both opposite outer surfaces of a laser beam machining.

Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung auch für flaches Bahnmaterial anwendbar.Of course, the invention is also applicable to flat sheet material.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird der Laserstrahl durch eine Scannereinheit entlang der vorgegebenen Abrisslinie geführt, wobei bei schlauchförmigem Bahnmaterial Laserquellen und Scannereinheiten an der Oberseite und an der Unterseite der Schlauchbahn angeordnet sein können. Durch die Ablenkung des Laserstrahls mit einem Scanner wird das Abfahren von nahezu beliebigen Konturen der Abrisslinie ermöglicht, während das Bahnmaterial unter dem Laser bewegt wird, wobei die Kontur softwaregesteuert sehr einfach an die Abmessungen der Verpackung angepasst werden kann.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the laser beam is guided through a scanner unit along the predetermined tear line, wherein in tubular web material laser sources and scanner units can be arranged at the top and at the bottom of the tube web. By deflecting the laser beam with a scanner, it is possible to descend almost any contours of the tear line while the web material is moved under the laser, whereby the contour can be very easily adapted to the dimensions of the packaging by software control.

Um verschiedene Eindringtiefen oder Durchdringtiefen des Laserstrahls im Bahnmaterial zu realisieren ist in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass während des Führens des Laserstrahls entlang der vorgegebenen Abrisslinie die Laserenergie (genauer gesagt: die Energiedichte im Auftreffpunkt auf dem Bahnmaterial) gemäß den vorgesehenen Eindringtiefen in das Bahnmaterial verändert wird.In order to realize different penetration depths or penetration depths of the laser beam in the web material, it is provided in one embodiment of the invention that during the guiding of the laser beam along the predetermined tear line, the laser energy (more precisely: the energy density at the point of impact on the web material) according to the intended penetration depths into the web material is changed.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht das Herstellen der Abrisslinie während das Bahnmaterial kontinuierlich bewegt wird, indem der Laserstrahl so nachgeführt wird, dass die Längsbewegung des Bahnmaterials ausgeglichen wird, wobei optional die Laserenergie an den jeweiligen Abstand zwischen Laserquelle und Auftreffpunkt auf dem Bahnmaterial angepasst wird, um am Auftreffpunkt immer die gewünschte Laserenergie zur Verfügung zu stellen. Es ist möglich die Energiedichte im Auftreffpunkt bei sich aufweitendem Strahl konstant zu halten, indem die Laserleistung dem Abstand zwischen Laserquelle und Bahnmaterial angepasst wird.The invention enables the production of the tear line while continuously moving the web material by tracking the laser beam to compensate for the longitudinal movement of the web material, optionally adjusting the laser energy to the distance between the laser source and point of impact on the web material at the point of impact always to provide the required laser energy. It is possible to keep the energy density at the point of impact constant as the beam expands by adjusting the laser power to the distance between the laser source and the web material.

Um die Eindringtiefe des Laserstrahls in das Bahnmaterial zu steuern, kann weiters vorgesehen werden, dass die Leistung der Laserquelle in Abhängigkeit von der Relativgeschwindigkeit des Laserstrahls in Bezug auf das Bahnmaterial geregelt wird, oder dass die Relativgeschwindigkeit des Laserstrahls in Bezug auf das Bahnmaterial geregelt wird. Dadurch wird die vom Laserstrahl in das Bahnmaterial eingebrachte Energie pro Längeneinheit der Abrisslinie festgelegt.In order to control the depth of penetration of the laser beam into the web material, it may further be provided that the power of the laser source is controlled in dependence on the relative speed of the laser beam with respect to the web material, or that the relative speed of the laser beam is controlled with respect to the web material. As a result, the energy introduced by the laser beam into the web material is determined per unit length of the tear line.

Mit der Erfindung lassen sich weiters beliebige Bahnabschnitte herstellen, die einen gestuften Bahnendabschnitt erfordern, da durch den Laserstrahl problemlos gestufte Abrisslinien erzeugt werden können.With the invention can be further produce any track sections that require a stepped tail section, as easily graded tear lines can be generated by the laser beam.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial eignet sich ausgezeichnet für den Einsatz bei einem Verfahren zum Herstellen von Verpackungsbehältern, insbesondere Seitenfaltenverpackungen, wobei nach dem Herstellen der Abrisslinie im Bahnmaterial mittels Laser die Bahnabschnitte vom Bahnmaterial abgerissen werden. Zur Erzeugung eines Bodens bzw. einer Deckfläche wird zumindest ein Endbereichs des Bahnabschnitts auf den Bahnabschnittskörper umgefaltet und der umgefaltete Endbereich am Bahnabschnittskörper durch Verkleben oder Verschweißen befestigt. Das Umfalten kann einmal oder mehrmals vorgenommen werden.The method according to the invention for producing web sections from a flexible web material is outstandingly suitable for use in a method for producing packaging containers, in particular gusseted packages, wherein the web sections are torn from the web material after the production of the tear line in the web material by means of a laser. To produce a bottom or a top surface, at least one end region of the web section is folded over onto the web section body and the folded-over end region is fastened to the web section body by gluing or welding. The folding can be done once or several times.

Bei Verwendung eines flachen Bahnmaterials werden die Bahnabschnitte vor dem Abreißen der Länge nach zu einem Schlauch geformt, so dass sich die Längsränder überlappen, die anschließend miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verklebt oder verschweißt werden, um eine Längsnaht zu erzeugen.When using a flat web material, the web sections are formed into a tube lengthwise prior to tearing, such that the longitudinal edges overlap, which are then bonded together, particularly glued or welded, to create a longitudinal seam.

Zur Herstellung von Seitenfaltenverpackungen, insbesondere Seitenfaltensäcken wird, vorzugsweise vor dem Abreißen der Bahnabschnitte vom Bahnmaterial, zumindest eine Längsfalte in den Bahnabschnitten ausgebildet.For the production of gusseted packages, in particular gusseted bags, at least one longitudinal fold in the web sections is formed, preferably before the web sections are torn off the web material.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten 2 aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial 1 wird nun zunächst unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 1 erläutert. Das flexible Bahnmaterial wird durch herkömmliche Beförderungsmittel, z.B. nicht dargestellte Walzenpaare in Längsrichtung (Pfeil A) zu einer Perforierstation zugeführt. Das Bahnmaterial 1 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel schlauchförmig, wobei es flach zusammengelegt ist, so dass eine obere (1a) und eine untere (1b) Materialbahn übereinander liegen. Das Bahnmaterial 1 umfasst ein Gewebe aus Kunststoffbändchen, die bevorzugt aus PP, PE, oder PET bestehen und zweckmäßig vor dem Weben verstreckt wurden. Die Kunststoffbändchen können ein- oder mehrschichtig ausgebildet sein. Das Gewebe kann mit zumindest einer zusätzlichen Materialschicht verbunden sein. In einer Variante ist die zusätzliche Materialschicht eine ein- oder mehrschichtige Kunststoffschicht, insbesondere aus PP, PE oder eine OPP-Folie, oder umfasst spezielle Haftschichten. In einer weiteren Variante ist die zusätzliche Materialschicht eine ein- oder mehrschichtige Beschichtung aus Kunststoffmaterial, die auf die Kunststoffbändchen des Gewebes aufgebracht ist. In wiederum einer anderen Variante ist das Bahnmaterial ein Verbundmaterial aus einem, optional beschichteten, Gewebe aus Kunststoffbändchen und zumindest einer weiteren Verbundkomponente, ausgewählt aus Kunststofffolie, Metallfolie, metallisierter Kunststofffolie, Vliesstoff (nonwoven), speziellen Haftschichten und/oder Papier. Die außen liegenden Einzelschichten können auch mit einem außen liegenden Druck oder Konterdruck versehen sein.The method according to the invention for producing web sections 2 from a flexible web material 1 will now be described first with reference to FIG Fig. 1 explained. The flexible web material is fed by conventional means of transport, for example roller pairs (not shown) in the longitudinal direction (arrow A) to a perforating station. The sheet material 1 is tubular in this embodiment, wherein it is folded flat, so that an upper (1a) and a lower (1b) material web are superimposed. The web material 1 comprises a fabric made of plastic tapes, which preferably consist of PP, PE, or PET and were expediently stretched before weaving. The plastic tapes can be formed one or more layers. The fabric may be connected to at least one additional layer of material. In one variant, the additional material layer is a single-layer or multi-layer plastic layer, in particular made of PP, PE or an OPP film, or comprises special adhesive layers. In a further variant, the additional material layer is a single-layer or multi-layer coating of plastic material, which is applied to the plastic tapes of the fabric. In yet another variant, the web material is a composite material of an optionally coated fabric of plastic tape and at least one other composite component selected from plastic film, metal foil, metallized plastic film, nonwoven fabric, special adhesive layers and / or paper. The outer layers can also be provided with an external pressure or counter pressure.

Die Perforierstation, der das Bahnmaterial 1 - zugeführt wird, umfasst zwei Laserschneideinheiten 7, jeweils mit einer Laserquelle 4 zur Erzeugung eines Laserstrahls 6 und einem Scanner 5 zur Ablenkung des Laserstrahls 6. Eine erste Laserschneideinheit 7 ist über dem schlauchförmigen Bahnmaterial 1 angeordnet, wobei ihr Laserstrahl auf die Außenfläche der oberen Materialbahn 1a gerichtet wird. Die zweite Laserschneideinheit 7 ist unter dem schlauchförmigen Bahnmaterial 1 angeordnet, wobei ihr Laserstrahl auf die Außenfläche der unteren Materialbahn 1b gerichtet wird. Die beiden Laserschneideinheiten 7 haben die Aufgabe, das Bahnmaterial 1 im Abstand der Länge L (siehe Fig. 2) von zu formenden Bahnabschnitten 2 mit Abrisslinien 3a, 3b zu versehen, die das Bahnmaterial 1 zwar schwächen, aber keine vollständige Trennung der Bahnabschnitte 2 vom Bahnmaterial 1 herbeiführen. Die im Bahnmaterial 1 erzeugten Abrisslinien 3a, 3b und Bahnabschnitte 2 sind in Fig. 2 in Draufsicht dargestellt.The perforating station, to which the web material 1 - is supplied, comprises two laser cutting units 7, each with a laser source 4 for generating a laser beam 6 and a scanner 5 for deflecting the laser beam 6. A first laser cutting unit 7 is arranged above the tubular web material 1, with its Laser beam is directed to the outer surface of the upper material web 1a. The second laser cutting unit 7 is disposed below the tubular sheet 1, with its laser beam being directed to the outer surface of the lower sheet 1b. The two laser cutting units 7 have the task of the web material 1 at a distance of length L (see Fig. 2 ) to be formed by forming web sections 2 with tear-off lines 3a, 3b, which indeed weaken the web material 1, but no complete separation of the web sections 2 from the web material 1 bring in. The tear lines 3a, 3b and track sections 2 produced in the web material 1 are in Fig. 2 shown in plan view.

Die beiden Laserschneideinheiten 7 arbeiten unabhängig voneinander, wobei die Energie des jeweiligen Laserstrahls 6 so eingestellt ist, dass er nur in der ihm zugeordneten Materialbahn 1a oder 1b eine Abrisslinie 3a, 3b einschneidet, die andere Materialbahn 1b oder 1a aber nicht beschädigt. Die Abrisslinien werden vom Laserstrahl 6 als Perforationslinien 3a-1 (siehe Fig. 4) oder Schwächungslinien 3a-2 (siehe Fig. 5) oder als eine Kombination aus Perforations- und Schwächungslinien 3a-3 (siehe Fig. 6) ausgebildet.The two laser cutting units 7 operate independently of each other, wherein the energy of the respective laser beam 6 is set so that it cuts a tear line 3a, 3b only in its associated web 1a or 1b, but not damage the other web 1b or 1a. The tear lines are from the laser beam 6 as perforation lines 3a-1 (see Fig. 4 ) or weakening lines 3a-2 (see Fig. 5 ) or as a combination of perforation and weakening lines 3a-3 (see Fig. 6 ) educated.

Nach der Ausbildung der Abrisslinien 3a, 3b können die Bahnabschnitte 2 in bekannter Weise vom Bahnmaterial 1 abgerissen und weiter verarbeitet werden.After the formation of the tear-off lines 3a, 3b, the web sections 2 can be torn off from the web material 1 in a known manner and further processed.

Die Abrisslinien 3a, 3b können unterschiedlichste Konturen aufweisen, insbesondere mehrfach gestuft sein. Der Laserstrahl 6 wird durch den Scanner 5 entlang der mittels Software vorgegebenen Kontur der Abrisslinie geführt, wobei diese Kontur einfach veränderbar ist und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren somit große Variabilität aufweist. Insbesondere ist es durch die Erfindung auch möglich, die Energie des Laserstrahls zu steuern und zu verändern, während er entlang der vorgegebenen Abrisslinie geführt wird, um z.B. eine Kombination aus Perforations- und Schwächungslinien zu erzeugen, oder um die Energie des Laserstrahls trotz veränderlichem Abstand zwischen Laserquelle 4 und Auftreffpunkt des Laserstrahls 6 auf der Materialbahn 1a, 1b konstant zu halten. Es ist durch die Steuerung der Laserenergie auch möglich, Materialbahnen mit wechselnden Materialeigenschaften (Dicke, Zusammensetzung des Verbunds, etc.) zu perforieren.The tear-off lines 3a, 3b can have very different contours, in particular be multi-stepped. The laser beam 6 is guided by the scanner 5 along the predetermined contour of the tear-off line by means of software, wherein this contour is easily changeable and the method according to the invention thus has great variability. In particular, it is also possible by the invention to control and change the energy of the laser beam as it is guided along the predetermined tear line, e.g. to produce a combination of perforation and weakening lines, or to keep the energy of the laser beam constant despite varying distance between laser source 4 and point of impingement of the laser beam 6 on the material web 1a, 1b. It is also possible by the control of the laser energy to perforate material webs with changing material properties (thickness, composition of the composite, etc.).

Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass das Bahnmaterial 1 kontinuierlich entlang der Richtung A weiterbewegt werden kann, während die Abrisslinien 3a, 3b durch den Laserstrahl 6 geschnitten werden. Dabei wird der Laserstrahl 6 der Bewegung des Bahnmaterials so nachgeführt, dass die Längsbewegung (A) des Bahnmaterials 1 ausgeglichen wird. Optional kann die Laserenergie an den jeweiligen Abstand zwischen Laserquelle 6 und Auftreffpunkt des Laserstrahls 6 auf dem Bahnmaterial 1 angepasst werden.An additional advantage of the invention is that the web material 1 can be continuously moved along the direction A, while the tear-off lines 3a, 3b are cut by the laser beam 6. In this case, the laser beam 6 of the movement of the web material is tracked so that the longitudinal movement (A) of the web material 1 is compensated. Optionally, the laser energy can be adapted to the respective distance between the laser source 6 and the point of impact of the laser beam 6 on the web material 1.

Die eingebrachte Energie pro Längeneinheit und damit die Eindringtiefe wird durch die Leistung der Laserquelle 4 und die Relativgeschwindigkeit des Laserstrahls 6 in Bezug auf das Bahnmaterial 1 festgelegt. Außer dem schlauchförmigen Bahnmaterial 1 können mittels dem erfindungsgemäßen Laserschneiden auch in einem flachen Bahnmaterial 11 Abrisslinien 13 ausgebildet werden, um Bahnabschnitte 12 zu erzeugen, wie in Fig. 3 in Draufsicht dargestellt ist. Bei flachem Bahnmaterial 11 wird nur eine Laserschneideinheit 7 benötigt. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass in Abhängigkeit von der Kontur der Abrisslinien 3a, 3b eventuell auch bei schlauchförmigem Bahnmaterial 1 mit einer Laserschneideeinheit 7 das Auslangen gefunden wird.The introduced energy per unit length and thus the penetration depth is determined by the power of the laser source 4 and the relative speed of the laser beam 6 with respect to the web material 1. In addition to the tubular web material 1, tear-off lines 13 can also be formed in a flat web material 11 by means of the laser cutting according to the invention in order to produce web sections 12, as in FIG Fig. 3 is shown in plan view. For flat sheet material 11, only one laser cutting unit 7 is required. It should be pointed out that, depending on the contour of the tear-off lines 3a, 3b, even with tubular sheet material 1 with a laser cutting unit 7, it may be the case that it is found.

Mithilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Bahnabschnitten 2, 12 aus einem flexiblen Bahnmaterial 1, 11 durch Laserschneiden ist es möglich Verpackungsbehälter herzustellen, indem zunächst die Bahnabschnitte 2, 12 durch Erzeugen der Abrisslinien 3a, 3b, 13 hergestellt werden, und anschließend die Bahnabschnitte 2, 12 vom Bahnmaterial 1, 11 abgerissen werden, danach zumindest ein Endbereich des Bahnabschnitts 2, 12 einmal oder mehrmals auf sich selbst bzw. den Bahnabschnittskörper umgefaltet wird und der umgefaltete Endbereich am Bahnabschnittskörper durch Verkleben oder Verschweißen befestigt wird. Sofern ein flaches Bahnmaterial 11 verwendet wird, werden die Bahnabschnitte 12 vor dem Abreißen der Länge nach zu einem Schlauch mit überlappenden Längsrändern geformt, die miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verklebt oder verschweißt werden.By means of the method according to the invention for producing web sections 2, 12 from a flexible web material 1, 11 by laser cutting, it is possible to produce packaging containers by first producing the web sections 2, 12 by generating the tear-off lines 3a, 3b, 13, and then the web sections 2 , 12 of the sheet material 1, 11, after which at least one end portion of the sheet portion 2, 12 is folded over one or more times onto itself or the sheet portion body and the folded-over end portion is secured to the sheet portion body by gluing or welding. If a flat web material 11 is used, the web portions 12 are formed before tearing the length of a tube with overlapping longitudinal edges, which are connected to each other, in particular glued or welded.

Weiters kann im hergestellten Materialschlauch, vorzugsweise vor dem Abreißen der Bahnabschnitte 2, 12 vom Bahnmaterial 1, 11, zumindest eine Längsfalte 8 in den Bahnabschnitten 2, 12 ausgebildet werden. Somit lassen sich Seitenfaltenverpackungen, insbesondere Seitenfaltensäcke herstellen.Furthermore, at least one longitudinal fold 8 can be formed in the web sections 2, 12 in the produced material hose, preferably before tearing off the web sections 2, 12 from the web material 1, 11. Thus, gusseted packages, especially gusseted bags can be produced.

Fig. 7 zeigt die Anwendung der in Fig. 6 beschriebenen Methode (Schwächung plus perforierte Abschnitte) für eine flache Bahn, die aus einem Verbund aus Kunststoffbändchengewebe 9 und einer Folie 10, z.B. Kunststofffolie, insbesondere OPP-Folie, oder Metallfolie oder metallisierte Kunststofffolie, besteht. Dabei trifft der Laserstrahl auf der Gewebeseite (die später die Innenseite der Verpackung bildet) auf, durchtrennt das Gewebe 9 größtenteils, perforiert aber die verbleibende Folie 10 nur an wenigen Stellen (vorzugsweise an den Stellen, die längs zur Bahnrichtung verlaufen). Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass sich die Bahn später an den Perforationslinien sauber abreißen lässt. Fig. 7 shows the application of in Fig. 6 method described (weakening plus perforated sections) for a flat web, which consists of a composite of plastic ribbon fabric 9 and a film 10, for example plastic film, in particular OPP film, or metal foil or metallized plastic film. In this case, the laser beam impinges on the fabric side (which later forms the inside of the package), severing the fabric 9 for the most part, but only perforates the remaining film 10 in a few places (preferably at the locations which run longitudinally to the web direction). As a result, the web can be torn off cleanly at the perforation lines later.

Fig. 8 zeigt die Anwendung des in Fig. 4 dargestellten Perforierens für eine schlauchförmige Bahn aus einem Verbund aus Kunststoffbändchengewebe 9 und Folie 10. Dabei trifft der Laserstrahl auf der Folienseite (später die Außenseite einer daraus hergestellten Verpackung) auf und durchtrennt die Bahn abschnittsweise vollständige. Die verbleibenden Stege müssen schmal sein und werden eventuell auch, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, geschwächt (geritzt), damit sich die Schlauchabschnitte später sauber trennen lassen. Stellen, die längs zur Bahnrichtung verlaufen, müssen in jedem Fall vollständig durchtrennt werden und dürfen keine Stege aufweisen. Fig. 8 shows the application of in Fig. 4 illustrated perforation for a tubular web of a composite of plastic ribbon fabric 9 and film 10. In this case, the laser beam on the film side (later the outside of a produced therefrom packaging) on and cuts through the train sections in full. The remaining webs must be narrow and possibly also, as in Fig. 6 shown, weakened (scratched), so that the hose sections can be separated later clean. Points that run longitudinally to the web direction must be completely severed in any case and must have no webs.
